About the Royal African Society

The Royal African Society is Britain's prime African organisation. Now more than 100 years old, its in-depth, long-term knowledge of the continent and its peoples makes the Society the first stop for anyone wishing to know more. They foster a better understanding of Africa in the UK and throughout the world - namely its history, politics, culture, problems and potential.

The Royal African Society disseminates knowledge and insight to make a positive difference to Africa's development and celebrates the diversity and depth of African culture.
